Number of seeds

Originating from a population of wild cherry tomatoes in Mexico, Matt's Wild Cherry was selected for its vigor and intense flavor. It retains an almost wild character: fine foliage, supple stems, and long clusters of tiny, bright red fruits that punctuate the garden with small, luminous touches.

In a thriving vegetable garden, it behaves like a true vine, eager to explore its surroundings. Each plant produces a profusion of very small but numerous cherry tomatoes, which ripen continuously until the first frosts. Its extended flowering and fruiting period make it a reliable companion in the kitchen garden, particularly valued in a respectful and diversified cultivation approach.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Annotation: Very vigorous variety, with indeterminate growth habit, which requires good staking or a solid support.

Matt's Wild Cherry's tiny cherry tomatoes are perfect for enjoying fresh from the garden, straight from the vine. They're also delicious in salads, vegetable skewers, or as a colorful garnish for summer dishes. Their small size and thin skin make them ideal for drying in a low oven or dehydrator, preserving some of their concentrated flavor. They can also be frozen whole for later use in sauces or stews.
